Ideally nestled in a private and scenic setting, this impeccably maintained brick raised ranch offers the perfect balance of comfort, style, and functionality. Situated on a sprawling 1.9-acre parcel, the home greets you with a minimalist appeal. Step inside to discover an expansive, light-filled layout featuring gleaming floors, and a warm, inviting ambiance. The spacious living room seamlessly flows into a formal dining area anchored by a striking stone fireplace - perfect for cozy dinners or entertaining guests. At the heart of the home, the open-concept & updated kitchen is a chef's dream, complete with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, rich wood cabinetry, a gas range & bar seating. Just off the kitchen, a bright Florida room, with nearly 400 square feet of enclosed space, and raised deck provide ideal spots to host gatherings overlooking the peaceful backyard. All three bedrooms are generously sized, including a serene primary suite with a private ensuite bath. A coveted laundry room combined with a powder bath rounds out the first floor. The walkout lower level offers exceptional flex space, featuring a secondary family room with a brick fireplace and built-in bar, plus a rec room. There's plenty of storage & a powder bath in this full basement space. Outdoors, the possibilities are endless with an enormous, powered 1,344 square foot pole barn. This supersized 48' x 28' space is ideal for car enthusiasts or hobbyists. Featuring exposed rafters, built-in shelving, and ample space for a car lift, it's a rare and valuable bonus that expands both functionality and future potential. Additional highlights include an oversized 2.5-car attached garage & a covered lower patio. Recent, big-ticket updates include roof, water heater & well pump. No HOA and just moments from Pine Knob, lakes, and recreational attractions, this suburban oasis delivers both tranquility & convenience. Just a quick jaunt to I-75 & Downtown Clarkston, too! IDRBNG
